ALL POINTS BULLETIN FOR MANCHIN, DEVONO, PARSONS

Per state code below, the green school site as approved by the West Virginia School Building Authority is clearly not legal.

It is uncontroversial that the intersection of WV 705 and US 119 – where the green school is intended to be sited (which WVU would sell land for), where the $8.6 million WV SBA grant was approved for in April – is a major nexus of “arterial highways, heavily traveled streets, traffic and congestion” carrying tens of thousands of vehicles per day. These facts automatically disqualify the location from becoming a school site, by law, per below.

The impending 4-5 lane road expansion that will wrap around the intended school only intensifies the violation by moving the intersection hundreds of feet closer to the intended building and by expanding traffic capacity at this major commuter and commercial and accident-prone intersection, all without being able to eliminate backups, according to the WV Division of Highways. The school drive would be a truncated spoke directly into and out of this major polluted congested dangerous high traffic intersection of the noisy arterial and congested thruways. It is as blatantly unlawful, per state code, as can be.

It’s not even close to being legal. A slam dunk. A glaring violation.

Who calls the cops on the SBA Director Dr. Mark Manchin and the two heads of the local BoE: President Parsons and Superintendent Devono?
